1.4 CubeSat Orbits
Overview
Students determine what types of mission each orbit would be useful for -or- students consider their original list of missions and determine which orbit types would be ideal for each one mission -or- the teacher, with a list of actual satellites and their missions, reads out loud one mission at a time and has the students discuss which orbit type would be best for the mission.
